Svastha yoga

Svastha yoga is not a brand , it is the name given by the Mohans to the yoga of Krishnamacharya which they teach. Svastha literally means” to be established in ones own self” and this way of yoga very closely follows the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. What this translates to is a yoga practice which helps us to reintegrate body breath and mind.To focus on the breath with the intention of beginning the process of steadying the mind. classes are much smaller than regular yoga classes to enable more individual attention and are inclusive and accessible.

Testimonials

I was fortunate enough to attend Jane’s Ayurvedic retreat in France in September 2011. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Three sessions of yoga a day complemented with Ayurvedic recipes to enjoy and all set in the relaxing and beautiful surroundings of Les Passeroses was the perfect antidote to the fatigue and listlessness I had been experiencing.

Jane is a fabulous yoga teacher. She gently guides you into the positions and works with each individual’s own personal levels of aptitude, offering alternative postures if appropriate. Doing yoga with Jane leaves you feeling totally nurtured and re-educates you about the importance of choosing to be kind to yourself both in body and mind.

After a week of stretching, opening and relaxing in the different yoga postures, plus filling myself with wonderful nutritious Ayurvedic food and one of the most marvellous body massages I have ever experienced I felt I was able to get back in touch with who I am. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
